Currently, the City does not chlorinate, although DOHI has wanted chlorination since 2010 due to the population reaching 8,000 residents. This status comes after the DOH issued a violation order in February 2019, requiring that the City submit an engineering report as to how and when the chlorination will occur. At that time, the city was in the middle of a Water System Update and had hoped that the report would satisfy the DOH. As oft today's date, that report has not been completed, resulting in the DOH issuing Order to Correct Violation. This order gives the City until April of2021 to comply and chlorinate. Council discussion ensued. The City Attorney has been asked to research any legal requirements for chlorination and the Public Works Director has been asked to research our neighboring communities' chlorination processes. They will report back to council Request for Qualifications - An RFQ was published on January 23, 2020 for roof repairs as the Ephrata Recreation Center and the Ephrata Library with a due date of February 6, 2020.

Our Water Department has taken great pride in our water system and the fact that we haven'thad to chlorinate. That said, the City has been ordered by the Washington State The city received a violation order last February that stated we needed to provide the DOH with an Engineering report as to when and how the chlorination would occur. The City is in the middle of a Water System Update which we figured would satisfy the DOH. Unfortunately the Water System Update Plan has yet to be completed. So as ofJanuary of 2020 the DOH issued an "Order to Correct Violation". This order gives the City until April of The Washington State DOH has wanted the City to Chlorinate since 2010. Given the size of Ephrata (over 8,000 residents) and that the DOH is siting 11 incidences of Non-Acute Coliform Violations (Most all of these violations were during Water Main replacement construction Projects) and the City has stated we would Chlorinate in several comprehensive plans and it is now time The City has budgeted to chlorinate the system in 2020. We need to get our Water System Plan to the DOH and have our Chlorination Plan approved by them. We are required to send out this letter informing the Ephrata residents oft the chlorination order. We are planning to have the same type of chlorination system as Moses Lake and Quincy; which is a Liquid Sodium Hypochlorate system that has a double walled tank on the exterior of each of our Well House buildings. This system should be up and running By July  Department of Health to chlorinate our Water System  2021 to comply.  too comply.  2020.  Bill Sangster - Public Works Director    City of Ephrata  Water use. Efficiency Goals and Measures  WATER USE EFFICIENCY PROGRAM  In. January 2017, DOH revised the third edition ofi its Water Use Efficiency Guidebook (Guidebook) DOH331-375. Section 5.3 of the Guidebook summarizes the items that are to be included in a WUE program. A discussion of each item is provided in this section.  CURRENT WATER USE EFFICIENCY PROGRAM  The City last updated its water use efficiency fori its 2012 Water System Plan. At that time, the City committed to maintaining Distribution System Leakage below 10 percent, and to reduce the average residential per capita use by approximately 2% by 2017. Over the last six years distribution system leakage has been less than 10j percent on average and the average residential per capita use increased approximately 2%. The City encourages efficient use of water through semi-annual bill stuffers and its annual consumer confidence report. It has also adopted al base rate plus uniform volume  charge rate structure.  WATER USE EFFICIENCY GOALS  The City is in the process of updating the City Water System Plan. As part of the Water System Plan, WUE rule requires a water system's elected governing body to evaluate and re-establish WUE goals that are measurable and have a timeframe for implementation. City staff along with Gray & Osborne performed a review of the WUE program. The  following goals are proposed:  Supplysideg goal. Maintain distributionsystem leakage below 10 percent. Demand side goal. Reduce average residential per capita use, currently at 484 gallons per day per ERU (Chapter 2 of the Plan), to a level of 465 gallons per day per ERU or less overt the next six years (an approximate 4 percent reduction  in water use per ERU over the time period). WATER USE EFFICIENCY MEASURES  The WUE Rule requires all municipal water systems to implement and evaluate certain mandatory water use efficiency measures. The City is also required to identify additional demand-side measures. The purpose of adopting a particular set of water use efficiency measures is to develop a strategy to meet the City's two water use efficiency goals,    Gray & Osborne, Inc., Consulting Engineers  described previously. The mandatory measures the City is required to address are as  follows.  Mandatory Water Use Efficiency Measures  Mandatory Measures Install source meters Install service and intertie meters Calibrate meters per industry standards Water loss control action plan ifDSL>10% Educate customers about WUE once per year Water conservation rates  Requirement Implementation Implementation Implementation Implementation Implementation Evaluation  Status Completed Completed As needed DSL already below 10% On-going every year Completed, re-evaluated existing inclined block rates  In addition to these mandatory measures, WAC246290-8100)d) requires systems with more than 2,5001 but less than 9,999 connections must adopt another six demand-side water use efficiency measures. The Water Use Efficiency Guidebook provides that a qualified WUE measure that is implemented for different customer classes counts as multiple WUE measures. The proposed demand-side measure is as follows:  Demand-Side Water Use Efficiency Measures  Customer Classes All  Est. Ann.  Demand Side Measures Notify customers of high meter reads Total Measures (6 required) counts as multiple WUE measures. mect its second goal.  Number of Water  Affected Measures (1) Savings/2) Status  Cost Minimal  On- going  23 23  4%  (1) Per the Guidebook, ifa qualified WUE measure is implemented for different customer classes, it (2) Savings projected by the end oft the 6-year planning period. Savings are expected to enable the City.to In addition to the mandatory measures, the proposed demand-side measure for 23 ofits customer classes, results in a total of23 measures, 17 more than required. It has been determined that implementing these measures will be cost effective, and can be paid for using operating funds from the water utility. We believe these measures, in addition to ongoing efforts to educate customers about water use efficiency, will enable the City to  meet its water use efficiency goals.

The following are the proposed project descriptions as presented In the Plan:  SOURCE IMPROVEMENTS S-1 Zone 1 Source Capacity  This project (suggested as part of the 2012 Water System Plan, Project No. 2&11) has been updated to reflect the source capacity requirements found in this Plan. This project consists of drilling and equipping ai new well or several new wells, or upgrading existing wells to provide additional capacity to pressure Zone 1. This project is necessaryi to meet future demands while meeting DOH reliability criteria. The last Plan suggested placing any new sources ini the southwest sector of the City. Aproject report is suggested to develop options and/or strategies to meet DOH reliability criteria and generate cost estimates. Additionally, a project report will address the potential division of Zone 1 Into two pressure: zones, as  discussed in further CIPs.  This project Is proposed to be undertaken ini following two parts.  SEPA Environmental chackliat (WAC 187-11-960)  July2010  Page 30!26    S-1A Zone 1 Source Capacity Analysis  This encompasses the analysis of pressure Zone 1 with the potential to split the zonei into two pressure zones. The existing Zone 1 currently has about 2,800 connections. it is estimated that if the zones were split along the railroad track that Zone 1 will have approximately 1,000 connection while the new Zone 51 will contain about 1,800 connections. The zone will provide pressure to elevations ranging from 1,2501 to 1,340 This analysis will investigate the necessary capacity of each zone and provide recommendations for new well placement, water rights necessities, PRV station necessities, and location of a well, transfer station, and reservoir as deemed necessaryi in the report. Further analysis of a new well location will be provided by al Hydro-geologic consultant under the same scope. Thel hydro-geologlc consultant will also provide assistance on a new point of  withdrawal for the new well.  S-1B Well No. 11  This improvement isi intended toi follow CIP S-1A by constructing and connecting Welll No. 11 into the City's water system. Based on preliminary sizing, a new well may needi to be able to provide at flow of approximately 1,000 to 1,300 gpm. This project includes the replacement of approximately 3,000 linear feet of aging 12" Steel transmission main from Well No. 4to Basin St (suggested as part oft the This project includes the replacement of approximately 1,300 linear feet of aging This project includes the replacement of approximately 7,800 linear feet of aging 12" AC transmission main from' Wells No. 3 and 5to Reservoir No. 3 This project (suggested as part of the 2012 Water System Plan, Project No. 8.1,8.2 &8 8.3) includes an upgrade at the City's existing wells tol include chlorination. Ina January 13, 2020 letter, DOH ordered the City take steps toi include chlorination of the City's water system in order to reduce coliform detection hits. The City completed a chlorination system comparative analysis report in 2010. The City has a preference for a Sodium Hypochlorite system at each well. The Cityis interested in contracting a Sodium Hypochlorite delivery service and purchasing and installing metering equipment for each well site.

SEPA Environmental checkist (WAC 197-11-960)  July2016  Page 4012 26    S-6 Backup Power  As part oft thel hydraulic modelling of the City's water system it was found that many hydraulic deficlencies were addressed simply by activating the wells in the City during fire flow events. In order to meet DOH reliability criteria, the acquisition and implementation of generators is suggested in order to provide backup power and operation for the various components of the City's water system including such as wells and booster stations. For this capital Improvement, it was assumed that the City should acquire a generator for the largest Wells in pressure zones 1 and 2 (Wells No. 3 and 10). Additionally, Iti is recommended that at traller-mounted generator be purchased in order to provide power on an as-needed basis fori the rest of the City's well sites. Itis assumed that the City w!ll need to acquire a 450kW, 125kW, and 250kW generator for Well No. 10, Well No. 3, and the traller-mounted unit, respectively. This project also includes costs to upgrade each of the wells with manual transfer switches or  automatic transfer switches as appropriate. S-7 Well No. 61 Testing and Rehabilitation  This project (suggested as part of the 2012 Water System Plan, Project No. 1) will begin by conducting a study that will include pump, packer and water quality testing tol better determine the well's production zone, which ini tum will help the City to better determine its needs. The estimate of these costs is a placeholder as the best course of action has not yet been determined. Once the scope oft this project is known, these costs can be more closely estimated. This project (suggested as part oft the 2012' Water System Plan, Project No. 20) Includes the rehabilitation of Wells No. 2, 3, 4, and 9. As was mentioned in the previous Plan, Wells No. 2, 3, 4 and 9 are in need of miscellaneous repairs. In the last Plan, It was noted that taste and odor issues, assoclate with Well No. 10 have been noticed. This project would attempt to address those issues. Lastly, this project would also provide for thei installation of security fencing for all of the This project (suggested as part of the 2012 Water System Plan, Project No.7) provides covenants to help protect the 100-foot radius around wellheads from contamination and to prevent inappropriate land uses within the sanitary control The City is forecasted to be water rights deficient by the 20-year planning horizon. Ifthe City desires to increase its source praduction, it may also need to increase water rights at that time as well. Iti is estimated that approximately 500 acre feet of additional water rights may be required. For planning purposes, additional water rights are estimated tol be assumed to be approximately $3,000 per acre-foot  S-B Well Rehabilitation  aforementioned wells along with Welis No. 6, and 10.

It is also possible that the City could looki into trying to get some credit for some of the water reuse from the WWTP that could be analyzed during the water rights search. This project (suggested as part oft the 2012' Water System Plan, Project No. 10& 12) includes the construction of a new transfer station to provide water from pressure Zone 1 into the new pressure Zone! 5. This project in conjunction with projects S-1A, P-2, and R-1 aims to reduce the amount of pumping required in zone 1, Increase static pressures on the east side of the City and allevlate Fire Flow deficiencies oni the east side of the City. This project will also help facilitate growth in the east side of the City. Based on preliminary sizing, a new transfer  S-11 Pressure Zone 5 Project (Transfer Station)  station may need tol be able to provide 1,000 gpm. PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE STATION IMPROVEMENTS  P-1 Transfer Station PRV  During the fire flow hydraulic analysis, it was noticed that when the valve at the Transfer Station is allowed to open completely, the higher pressures In Zone 2 provide more flow than is necessary to Zone 1. This flow instead of adding to the fire flow, instead begins to fill Reservoir No. 2 and 4: and additionally also drains ReservoirNo.: 3. The high flows comblned with al lower level in Reservolr No. 3 causes Zone 21 to experience low pressures. This project would add a combination pressure reducing/pressure sustaining features tot the existing Transfer Statlon diaphragm valve to control flow from Reservoir No. 3, add a hydraulically: actuated features (non-power dependent), and ensure that pressure This project (suggested as part of the 2012' Water System Plan, Project No. 10) proposes to split zone 1 east of the BNSF railroad tracks where much of the water system is at a higher elevation than the City center. This project would occur in conjunction with project S-1A, S-11 and R-1 discussed later in this Chapter. The project will Isolate Zone 1 from the proposed Zone 51 with a series of PRV stations that isolate the zone while allowing the flow of fire flow! between the zones.

RESERVOIR IMPROVEMENTS  R-1 Pressure Zone 5 project (Reservoir No. 6)  This project (suggested as part of the 2012 Water System Plan, Project No. 10& 12) includes the construction of a new reservoir on the east-side of the City. This project, in conjunction with project S-1A, S-11 and P-2 aims to reduce the amount  SEPA Environmental chacktist (WAC 197-11-960)  July2 2016  Page 6of26    of pumping required inz zone 1, increase static pressures on the east side of the City and alleviate Fire Flow deficlencles on the east side of the City. This project will also help facilitate growth ini the east side oft the City. Preliminary sizing suggests that ther new zone will require approximately 2,000,000 gallons of storage. This project will determine sizing of an appropriate reservoir. Asteel reservoir will be required with al height ranging from 1101 to 145 feet tall and dlameters from 701 to 100 feet. Additionally, a water tower can be considered for A 2018 LiquiVision inspection and cleaning report advised that the City undertake anumber of rehabllitations to the City's reservoirs.
